West Hill

Flowers everywhere. Brighter now, even on grey days. The earliest of early Spring in PDX. Only a month until the Equinox.

A photo with the river passing through a forest in the early days of March.

The patio was cleaned and furniture put in place...residents followed.

Found some pictures I took at the Chippewa Nature Center in late winter and early spring, that I never posted.

it really felt like the first day of Spring today

Early fall flowers and blossoms

Just started to drive home when we saw a patch of blue fly across in front of the car, there were two Bluebirds who perched right on posts at the side of the road. Even though there was some traffic, they stayed long enough for some pictures. It looked to be a mated pair.

These photos were taken through my bedroom window, and some of the sharpness was compromised.

Listera australis

According to Paul Martin Brown, in Wild Orchids of Florida: This spring ephemeral appears quickly in February in the north part of the state, having a preference for damp, often seasonally flooded deciduous woodlands. Most populations consist of less than a dozen plants. The species sets seed and senesces quickly, so that a month after flowering there is usually no sign of the plants until the next season. They are listed as threatened in Florida.

First to poke their heads up.

I planted this about 4 years ago and this is the first time I've seen this little tree bloom!!! The little blooms are about a half inch wide.

The lower section of Guo Xi's Early Spring. Some wonderful details. Wish I had a super hi-res version...

See where this picture was taken. [?]

A small lake had it all - some layers of the frozen slushy snow, a crust of the night icy sheet, some open water with the reflection, and the dead broken bold tree stumps protruding into the air.
